jnshapiro Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I wish the pictures were done! I had a carving lesson today at Kirkwood. Ian Kent helped me out a LOT. He was riding a PureCarve board. Really railing it. It was fun to watch him ride. Anyway, by the end of the lesson I was finally able to really lay it out and was carving. One of those ski resort photographers was there and he got a bunch of pictures. Once they're posted I'll get 'em linked over. When I got back to my car, I noticed that I was riding in walk mode on my Head boots. Carving was a lot easier in walk mode than not. Anyone else notice this or maybe it was me and the conditions today (soft and warm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I like some flex too. Consider getting BTS or RAB (you can get RAB's in the BOL store until more BTS's come in) See this thread for problems with riding in walk mode. http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=11051 EDIT: just noticed you use heads, the above may not apply.

jnshapiro Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks, that was interesting. Today, it was by accident. I'll try not to do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B18C1 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I usually put my rear boot in walk mode when the conditions are bad and I keep my front locked. Helps me bend my rear knee and be more stable... Anyone else does that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Been riding with both boots unlocked for 4 years now, on 224s. Switching to BTS/yellow if I ever get out.... here in the North east Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boarderboy Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Can't believe I posted that.. I usually start any day with both Scarpa Lasers (AT boot) in walk mode. If conditions are good, I'll soon lock em both down, but if less than ideal, I will leave rear unocked so I can more easily tuck rear knee forward. Sounds painful, I know, but for me it seems to work. Powder to the People!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Been riding with both boots unlocked for 4 years now, on 224s. Switching to BTS/yellow if I ever get out.... here in the North east Same. Powder mode for me for the past several seasons on my 224s. BTS upgrade w/yellow springs - Feels much better. A lot more even flex and recovery throughout the range/travel. You'll like 'em!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
